If you are downloading an entire chart, you can use the Garmin
Express
™
app to download the map onto a memory card. The
Garmin Express app downloads large charts more quickly than
the ActiveCaptain app. For more information, go to garmin.com
/express.
NOTICE
Chart updates may require the app to download large files.
Regular data limits or charges from your internet service
provider apply. Contact your internet service provider for more
information about data limits or charges.

Charts and 3D Chart Views
The charts and 3D chart views that are available depend on the
map data and accessories used.
NOTE: 3D chart views are available with premium charts, in
some areas.
You can access the charts and 3D chart views by selecting
Charts.
Navigation Chart: Shows navigation data available on your pre-
loaded maps and from supplemental maps, if available. The
data includes buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings,
marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.
Fishing Chart: Provides a detailed view of the bottom contours
and depth soundings on the chart. This chart removes
navigational data from the chart, provides detailed
bathymetric data, and enhances bottom contours for depth
recognition. This chart is best for offshore deep-sea fishing.
NOTE: The Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in
some areas.
Perspective 3D: Provides a view from above and behind the
boat (according to your course) and provides a visual
navigation aid. This view is helpful when navigating tricky
shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels, and is beneficial when
trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or
anchorages.
Mariner's Eye 3D: Shows a detailed, three-dimensional view
from above and behind the boat (according to your course)
and provides a visual navigation aid. This view is helpful
when navigating tricky shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels,
and when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar
harbors or anchorages.
Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater view that visually
represents the sea floor according to the chart information.
When a sonar transducer is connected, suspended targets
(such as fish) are indicated by red, green, and yellow
spheres. Red indicates the largest targets and green
indicates the smallest.
Relief Shading: Provides high resolution elevation shading of
lakes and coastal waters. This chart can be helpful for fishing
and diving.
NOTE: The Relief Shading chart is available with premium
charts, in some areas.
Navigation Chart and Fishing Chart

some areas.
The Navigation Chart is optimized for navigation. You can plan a

The Fishing Chart provides a detailed view with more bottom
detail and fishing content. This chart is optimized for use when
fishing. To open the Fishing Chart, select Charts > Fishing
Chart.
